Dr Eades, your discussion about excess deaths made me think about the danger of large-scale bushfires we have here in Australia. 2019-2020 was the last extreme bushfire season (we personally were fortunate to be able to evacuate to Melbourne for that one), and the next is well overdue.

Dr Eades, your discussion about excess deaths made me think about the danger of large-scale bushfires we have here in Australia. 2019-2020 was the last extreme bushfire season (we personally were fortunate to be able to evacuate to Melbourne for that one), and the next is well overdue. The longer we go without any major fires the more fuel buids up on the ground, regular fuel reduction is carried out by various organisations to mitigate the fire danger but that might be insufficient. There are uncomfortable parallels with covid/vaccines performing this form of 'fuel reduction' on the population, I wonder how long this will go on? Will we eventually see a reduction in mortality rates when all the 'fuel' is used up, or is this going to be like one of those underground fires that can't be exstinguished and are left to burn forever?

I certainly hope not, but who knows? With these mRNA vaccines, we're charting a new course.
